An Overview of the Analysis of the Exergy of the Thermal Power Plant

Abstract

In the economic development of the country, the power generation industry plays a key role. Increasing demand for electricity has made power plants of theoretical interest, but most power plants are only based on the first thermodynamics law and are designed according to energy efficiency requirements. The demand for energy sources around the world is shrinking day by day. The first law of thermodynamics cannot describe the real useful loss of energy, since it does not differentiate between the quality of energy and the quantity. The current thesis deals with the energy study of coal-fired thermal power plants and provides a detailed review of the different studies performed over the years on coal-fired thermal power plants. This analysis will list the main causes of loss and energy destruction in the power plant. It will have ways and means to increase the system's performance and reduce the environmental impact.
